electricity that French political activities

Facts of Political History.

The Boston Herald, with its usual
economy of truth when it sees an opportu-
nity to serve the interests Of Democratic
politics, undertakes to support the histori-
cal myth, that the old Free Soil party
was instrumental in breaking up the Wing
party. This is a positive perversion of
political history. The Liberty party, by
its Birncy ticket in New York. in 1874,
contributed decisivcly to the election of
James X. Polk and the defeat of the
illustrious Henry clay, the candidate of
